GEOLOG was founded in Italy in 1982 to provide mud logging

services to AGIP on geothermal, oil and gas wells. From its early

years, GEOLOG´s strong technological and R&D culture led

to the development of a number of innovative solutions and

highly technological patents in the mud logging arena. The

Italian crisis of 1994, during which the company moved abroad,

opening bases in Tunisia, Congo and Venezuela, servicing AGIP’s

international operations, acted as a catalyst for the company’s

international expansion. Current management acquired the

company in 2001 and has been able to develop its innovative

solutions and technological patents into commercial products

and services, thereby significantly growing the customer base

across not only international oil companies but also across

national oil companies worldwide. Whilst retaining its R&D

GEOLOG’s services help to reduce drilling costs through the

innovative use of non-invasive and therefore low risk surface

measurement of drilling parameters and formation/fluid

analytics, thereby improving operational safety while optimising

well construction and delivery. By monitoring and analysing

fluid movements our KickAlarm and GeoFracture services

respectively assist in the immediate and accurate identification

of losses/influxes for safe drilling, and in real-time identification

and characterisation of fractures for optimising testing and

completions.

GEOLOG offers a range of services that drive improved drilling

efficiency in real-time, including BitLife, our patented near

real-time bit condition monitoring service, and DrillVibe for

immediate stick-slip detection and mitigation, both of which

provide very early warning of high-risk drilling issues, and so

can help prevent low ROP and potential catastrophic bit/BHA

Drilling in deep and ultra-deep water poses many formation

evaluation challenges for operators including increased costs,

remote locations, complex formation pressures which in turn

may lead to borehole instability and unplanned well-control

situations and drilling muds cooled by long riser sections. Use

of services such as KickAlarm help mitigate non-productive time

by carefully identifying only true fluid influxes and losses. The

DrillClean service provides accurate assessment of the volumes

of returned cuttings, identifies borehole instability and monitors

hole cleaning efficiency in real-time. Our GeoPressure services

help identify, monitor and analyse the presence of formation

overpressures and assist in the drilling of wells with narrow safe-

full range of equipment and services have been tried and tested

in temperatures up to 50 degrees C. We are also able to provide a

range of specialty service cabins, including “Advanced Service” cabins

designed to be used alongside other surface logging companies

providing only standard services (deployed for example in Brazil for

Petrobras, in Senegal for Cairn Energy and in Tanzania for Statoil) and

laboratories. Through this process, GEOLOG is able to offer standard

and optional extended warranties for its equipment, supported

by a global 24/7 network of technical support from its production

and operations teams. GEOLOG has in place a dedicated network

of operational support bases with qualified, competent resources

to provide local technical assistance. It is through this network and

with assistance from our Milan Manufacturing Centre that we are

also able to provide thorough installation and commissioning of all

of our products and services and guarantee the availability of spare

parts and upgrades to avoid obsolescence. Frequent and regular

refurbishment and upgrading occurs to ensure continued reliability

in the field and for our crews to be able to maintain their focus on

performing their services. Comprehensive training is also provided

for local technical support personnel to ensure that assistance is

available in as timely a manner as possible.

Our manufacturing and design teams are able to provide detailed

drawings, plans and certification to a variety of standards, addressing

all customer concerns about the specifications of our units. Our

mobile laboratories can be built according to various international

standards, and in a variety of configurations, summarized in the

following table:

“Combination Service” cabins (designed to accommodate GEOLOG’s

services and third party services such as Logging While Drilling (LWD),

or Measurement While Drilling (MWD) services in one cabin). For

certain land operations, GEOLOG has trailer mounted units, capable

of being towed easily between locations.

In addition to our various service provision cabins, GEOLOG also

provides suitable certified small toolbox/support containers,

commonly used in more remote environments to house additional

spares, tools and consumables to ensure continued, uninterrupted

service no matter where operations may be occurring.
